Fuel Injector Cleaning

Many of today's vehicles require routine servicing of the fuel system. Fuel injectors can become partially clogged causing an insufficient amount of fuel and a disrupted spray pattern. This condition may cause poor idle quality, decreased fuel economy and poor overall performance.

Today's dry air intake systems may also require periodic cleaning, in the past gasoline would flow from the carburetor through the intake manifold cleaning the intake runners as it flowed before entering the combustion chamber. Today crankcase vapors coat the air intake runners disrupting air flow. The proper amount of air and fuel is critical for emissions, economy and performance.

At STS we can properly maintain you fuel injection and air intake system. A three step service can help restore and maintain the performance and fuel economy you one had.

Fuel System Cleaning

Modern engines are designed to deliver more power and performance while producing lower exhaust emissions. Many of these systems operate under stringent conditions with microscopic tolerances. When clean, these engines run great - quick acceleration, good fuel economy and strong overall performance.

Within a few thousand miles, not very noticeably at first, engine performance starts to suffer. As deposits build up on engine and intake surfaces, the air and fuel delivery gets restricted.

This reduces power and performance and increases exhaust emissions. Short trip driving, stop-and-go, high temperatures and idling, all provide the hot, dirty environment that builds these harmful deposits.

Proper fuel system cleaning targets each specific area of the engine where deposits can form. A fuel system cleaning service cleans the air intake, fuel delivery / injectors, intake manifold, valves, piston ringland and combustion chambers.

Periodic cleaning of your fuel system, every 15,000 miles (23,000 km) or annually, will help in the following areas:

  • Improve fuel economy
  • Reduce emissions
  • Restore power & performance
  • Improve driveability
  • Smooth engine idling
